Part four draws attention to the consequences of what we do in ECEC. Chapter 14 reviews big issues in assessment, with particular attention to how we need to work with parents when we are assessing children’s needs and progress. ‘Inclusion’ (Chapter 15) asks us to consider various dimensions of difference and also the ways in which routine processes differentiate between people. The emphasis is on accepting difference as part of the human condition and on how to build more inclusive communities within settings, which in turn will contribute to the development of a more inclusive society.
